EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the awe-inspiring stepped stone pyramid of the ancient city of Monte Alban. Located in Oaxaca, Mexico, this architectural marvel stands as a testament to the rich history and vibrant culture of pre-Columbian civilizations. The image captures the grandeur and intricacy of this remarkable structure, with its imposing steps reaching towards the heavens. The photograph's horizontal composition allows for an immersive experience, inviting viewers to explore every detail of this archaeological wonder. The warm colors bring life to each stone block, revealing their weathered beauty that has withstood centuries. As we gaze upon this snapshot frozen in time, we can't help but feel a sense of reverence for those who built such a magnificent monument. Monte Alban was once home to the Zapotec civilization and served as their political and religious center from around 500 BC until 800 AD. Although much about these ancient people remains unknown, their legacy lives on through extraordinary structures like this pyramid. Photographer Santiago Ortega expertly captures not only the physicality but also the spirit embedded within Monte Alban's architecture. This print serves as a window into our past and reminds us of humanity's enduring quest for knowledge and artistic expression.
